Meditation

Gently lift the heavy burden calmly close your eyes Time to slowly cast-out uncertain thoughts that agonize Take the 'word,' say it over softer, lower, every time Let your mind lean on your shoulder there is no need to criticize Let thoughts drift down the river Let dreams flow swift and cool The mind is one's only giver The body is one's only fool Drawing closer to real being finding life's inner meaning Now, you're at the point of learning with each descent, there is no returning.

'...there is no need to criticize,' ...judgement plays no part in the meditation process. Gently direct the person on to their own path. Well said my friend! Best wishes, Keith
